| Summary |
"Of the world's 6,500 languages, one dies every two weeks. No country has lost so many languages so quickly as Australia. Each time a language is lost, a vision of the world disappears. As a Pitjinjarra man says, if you only listen to English you 'will get a white man's head'. Wipe out language and you wipe out identity. This program is a thought-provoking examination of why these languages disappear, and a look at the significance of this loss to those who speak them and for the rest of us." -- website |
